Did ‘Women of the Movement’ Tell Emmett Till’s Story Accurately?

“We wanted to make it as realistic as we could. We have to see what Mamie saw. Otherwise, the story makes no sense,” she explained. “Jet [magazine] printed the photos. The world reacted to the photos. We want our audience to react to what Mamie saw. And we could not see Emmett’s body until Mamie saw it. She is our guide to understand her horror and what she saw, and then her strength.”

Women of the Movement will conclude its limited run on Thursday, Jan. 20 at 8 p.m. on ABC. You can stream earlier episodes of the series now on Hulu.
